The DermLite carbon pocket derma-
toscope is designed for skin lesions
examination with magni󰘰cation and
cross-polarized or linearly polarized light.
Hold the DermLite so that the LEDs are
aimed in the direction of the lesion to be
examined. Place the DermLite approx-
imately 12 mm (1/2”) from the skin
(Fig. 1). If necessary, use your 󰘰ngers
to maintain optimum spacing or attach
the included spacer. Press the dome-
shaped button (Fig. 2) at the side of the
unit to activate the cross-polarized LEDs
and hold it down as long as you need
light. To see skin surface structures with
linearly polarized light, use the second
button. Look through the lens and move
the device closer or further away from
the lesion to obtain the desired image
focus.
Replacing the Battery (Fig. 3)
To change the battery, squeeze the
sides of the battery cap and remove it
and the battery. Insert a new battery of
the same type with the contacts facing
forward, then reattach the battery cap.
The DermLite uses a 2CR5 lithium
battery, which may be purchased from
DermLite, your DermLite dealer or an
electronic retailer.
